Blue Water Theatre Company is holding auditions for its spring production of No Sympathy for the Wolf, a new rock musical comedy by Scott Mebus.
What if everyone ever victimized by the Big Bad Wolf pulled together to take him down once and for all? This rock musical combines fairy tales, social commentary and catchy pop/rock to answer that question. After all, if a group of pigs, liars, water fowl, red-hooded schoolgirls and angry grannies don’t take down the biggest bully of them all, who will?
